Haha, graphmastur. DrDnar and Graphmastur, I agree, but again, they seem set on some variation of that version. Also, they're insisting on sentence case (Learn about the homescreen) instead of title case (Learn About the Homescreen) for chapter and section headings, which I find very odd, what do you guys think about that format?

Agreed on all points. I'd also add that the coloured-in calculator looks rather half-arsed without the text labels to me - either keep it as a sketch (as you originally had) or fully detailed, not somewhere in the middle.

The horizontal line just looks like a lazy photoshop fail.. As for the color, I'd imagine it will look rather different when printed compared to how it looks on-screen, so it's a bit hard to say.

An excellent point. I included a pondering about exactly that based on your insight with my email, so thank you.

I completely agree with you, but I think they want something like this, not to mention avoiding certain copyright issues that might come up with a precise reproduction.

Ah, got it. I'm not familiar with the details of the original. Just some of them.

I can only assume the square is from his feet to his head, as the circle is from his feet to his hands, representing the two heights we have. I have no objection to either interoperation for the calc as the calculator is as tall as it can get.

As such, perhaps the square should be as tall as the circle?

Actually, looking at the picture above, the corners add height to it. So The square going to the top of the calc from the bottom is feasible.

The guest post above was me. I didn't realize that I wasn't logged in.

No problem. ComicIDIOT figured it might indeed be you from the IP address. At any rate, I will dutifully voice my concerns, although I get the impression that the editor is pretty sick of hearing feedback on the design from me at this point. I think they would have been happier if I just picked one of those costume figures.
